Eclipse Day 2017: Country Songs About the Moon

Well, we’ve waited for this day for a long time– years, even decades! The solar eclipse is happening today, and what better way to celebrate than some appropriately-themed country music? To celebrate this historical event of the moon crossing into the path of the sun, here are some of our favorite country songs about the moon!

This is one of the sadder country songs about the moon, and reminisces on the broken promises of a lover. The moon, the stars, and a heartbroken woman were all victims of a lie in this sad tune from Dolly Parton.

In a stark contrast to the sad song in the number 3 slot, this one is a sweet love song that uses some solar metaphors. Luke Bryan sings about loving someone “to the moon and back,” through all the good times and the bad that life may bring.

Another sweet love song, this might be our favorite of all the country songs about the moon. The images of “driving Buicks to the moon” makes us chuckle, and the lyrics describe the longest-lasting kind of love.

When someone else believes in you, it can make all the difference in your life. This song could be about a daughter or a lover, and is a sweet reminder that someone out there believes we could “rope the moon” if we tried.
